The spectacular journey of light continues.

How has the metaphor of light inspired T. A. Barron throughout his life and writings? Gather round to hear… and also to help Tamwyn, the wilderness guide of Avalon, re-light the stars.

Join us around this magical fire to hear more readings from T. A. Barron’s books, a musical performance by co-host Carolyn Hunter, and even… a love poem written by T. A. Barron for his wife Currie that has never been shared before in public.

Listen again to the song "Avalon Farewell". Lyrics by T. A. Barron, music by Carolyn Hunter. 

"Avalon Farewell" is based on the ballad Merlin sings in The Eternal Flame, book 11 of The Merlin Saga by T. A. Barron (and also the third book of The Great Tree of Avalon trilogy). This ballad appears in Chapter 36 of the paperback and hardback USA editions.

Discover more original music by Carolyn Hunter.

Magic & Mountains is hosted by T. A. Barron, beloved author of 32 books and counting. Carolyn Hunter is co-host.

Magic & Mountains Theme Song by Julian Peterson.
